Initial Cracks In The Armor Or Set Up For Melt Up?

Today’s drop broke the levels the ES should have IDEALLY held if it was going to move higher for a 5th wave to complete the rally off the low made on the 2nd of the month. But, what the market has now done is provided us with more definitive upside resistance due to this pullback.

While we certainly can count enough waves to consider the rally complete at the recent high, I am unwilling to see any big downside moves until the support for the blue count is taken out at 2147, and I have reiterated this many times. So, until we see a break-down of 2147, I cannot expect a big pullback, despite my desire to see one in this region before we continue towards 2500SPX.

As far as upside resistance on our chart, I am able to narrow that resistance down to the 2196-2202SPX region. You see, if we do get another rally to higher highs, a 5th wave often measures .618 the size of waves 1-3. So, if this is indeed a 4th wave pullback (despite its abnormal depth), then any higher highs should remain below the .618 extension of waves 1-3, which is 2196. However, if this pullback is really blue wave (ii), then we should be moving through 2196 within the next few trading days, with a move through the .764 extension at 2203 strongly confirming that we are melting up in the heart of wave (3) towards the 2350 region.

So, today’s pullback was quite helpful in setting our upside parameters with much more concrete levels.

OUR MEMBERS SAY ...

“I will say this about this site and the crew in general:
It is one of the most cohesive, cooperative and harmonious "work" groups I have ever experienced.
Everyone's dedication is exemplary, above and beyond the call of duty. The leadership is outstanding.
All the trading and money making aside, it is a true pleasure to be here. I haven't even talked about the quality of the analysis. That, I think speaks for itself. OUTSTANDING!”

“Whomever has yet to join Avi's EWT Pinball on SA or his main site you guys are really missing unbelievable opportunities. Their analysis, analysts and the groups are superb. Imagine knowing back in 2016 the market had 2 years and 800 Points of upside in his analysis and charts and one would have confidentially bought the bottom. On the ElliottWaveTrader.net you can and will get 100's of different charts, perspectives and the ability to buy with confidence or even more important not to buy if a indices or security is topping and should and will head lower which allows you to short, take profits or wait for a pull back. Now for the best part when they see a stock which looks like it is about to break out or down they post it and I have watched and experience many 5x,10x and even 20x returns in a few hours out to 1-10 day returns. Avi, you, your team and site is really far above anything I could have even imagined.”

“I remember distinctly reading an article in 2011 by some kook who had the audacity to call the top in PM when they were obviously going nowhere but up. I dismissed him for the exact same reasons people dismiss him now and went on to suffer catastrophic losses over the next couple of years.
Yesterdays highs of both GLD and GDX tapped Avi’s resistance zones nearly to the penny and have since turned down. And the guy gets criticized for being right.
If you want to feel better about being wrong, stick to perma-pumpers like Adam Hamilton. If you’re interested in actual price action and calls that actually get updated as conditions change, this is the place to be.”

“This site is for teaching people to fish with the shark, not to get eaten. E-wave is not my main methodology, but seeing what the analysts have done here is pretty amazing. As a subscriber/observer I can say without exception that they give you the tools to make good choices.”

“I appreciate your your insightful technical analytical focus on the market. I have been a financial advisor for 37 years, and I have NEVER felt comfort from fundamental analysis as a predictive tool on future market movement. I have mostly felt anxiety. Thank you, Avi, to you and your associates, for helping me sleep better at night, because I no longer have to be imprisoned by the capricious whims of the fundamental analysts and soothsayer economists. -John Martin, proud subscriber to Elliott Wave Trader for 9 months, but follower of Avi Gilbert for many years”

“What differentiates you is the unemotional probability based reasoning for the primary and alt counts. Like I said before, you and your team of EWT are the best technicians out there . . . Trust me, I've been trading for 25 years and no one knows EW like Avi and his team. I use several tools to trade the markets, but the EW tool hands down, no one even comes close. ”
